Instructions

Crumb Topping

  • Whisk together flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin spice, and salt into a medium sized bowl.
  • Drizzle in melted butter and use a fork to combine. You should end up with what looks like wet sand, with lots of big chunks. Set aside.

Pumpkin Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x9 inch non-stick square baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Fold in flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until *just* combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, then sprinkle with the crumble.
  • Bake in preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until an inserted toothpick is practically clean (it’s ok if a few crumbs stick); check at 45 minutes and cover with greased tin foil if the top is getting too brown.
  • Cool for 10-15 minutes before drizzling with optional glaze and enjoying!

Glaze

  • Whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, pumpkin spice, and salt until smooth, then drizzle over cooled cake and enjoy!

Notes

Nutritional information includes glaze.
If using an 8x8 instead of a 9x9, you'll likely need to increase the bake time, because it will be thicker.
